I would suggest that you up your calories. I don't think you are eating enough. That protein/snack bar is probably not a protein bar if it has only 90 cals and not a great breakfast. Imo, try eating 5 small meals around 250 cals and then your night time snack. When you eat too few calories your body tends to hold onto the weight.
HTH

Hmmm. Eating too late, well there's really no such thing, as long as you keep within your calorie allotment within a 24 hour period. .

Well. You didn't give a complete menu. What does my dinners SEEM smaller mean? How many calories are we talking here? Because that's always what it boils down to. For me smaller wouldn't have cut it. I was eating very caloric dinners in the past. Cutting them back wouldn't have been cutting them back ENOUGH to create a calorie deficit.

Some candy? A couple of Oreos? Well each oreo cookie has 65 calories. 2 therefore would have 130 calories. 3 Oreos - 195. Why not have some nutrient rich, filling and satisfying snack instead?

I would also have a larger breakfast - at least 200 calories and a larger lunch - at least 300- 400 calories. Good quality calories though. Egg white omlettes, veggies, FF/SF yogurt. Chicken or turkey breast for lunch with a nice salad.

I think you really, really need to track those calories to get a crystal clear picture of what you're truly ingesting. This way there's no mistaking it.

And there's no way to know for sure just how many calories you're burning on that treadmill and with the dancing. About 30 minutes of walking burns approximately 100 calories.

Another question. How long have you been doing this for?

Give us a little more info and we can give you some more suggestions. Meanwhile, hang tough. Be open to a little tweaking here and there and you'll have that scale headed down.

IMO, before any one ups any thing, I would strongly, STRONGLY advise to track those calories CAREFULLY. Once you start biting and writing EVERYTHING, every lick, taste and crumb- well it's a real eye opener. Once you know what you're truly ingesting, one can take it from there. It *may* just be that the OP is consuming more calories then she thinks she is. You really need to get an accurate count of what's going into your body. Otherwise, it's just any ones guess. And really, why *guess* with something so vital?

Ok i will start counting calories for dinner time..
I started mid march.. down like i was down 15 lbs..
now im up a couple..
When i started the weight loss in mid march time... I was eating almost nothing at night..and someone toldme on here.. i need to eat more.. so i started eating more about middle of may . now the scale is going the other way.. i guess I have to find a mid point..
My treadmill says I burn 200 calories.. i speed walk 4.0-4.5 for 2 miles..
then i do stretching and about 10 minute dancing..
so at least i can go by the 200..
and weekends i do 4 miles.. 2 on the treadmill and 2 on the street..

Everyone notices the weight loss. my clothes are getting bigger..
but as hard as im working.. the scale should be down another 2 lbs.. not up 3.

but I will start writting down everythign put in my mouth.
I dont have a big breakfast.. because I go to work very early.. and I am on Metformin( for pcos) and seems if i eat a heavy breakfast, I get the runs..
and i am chained to a desk all day until noon, when i have lunch.
So i cant be eating a big breakfast..Especially anything with GREASE!
Maybe i will look into a protein drink for breakfast..
I am up to trying anything!!
When I was eating less, i actually was never hungry.. I was drinking 8 glasses of water a day.. Just read we should be drinking 1/2 our body weight in water, and that means I need to double my water.
I sweat a lot while i excerise.. So it makes sense..I am not stupid. I will not do anything that will make me sick.
but i think im following the rules. but its not working in my favor! lol

I can't imagine making it all the way to 6:00pm on 340 calories, and then exercising. I would be cranky and weak.

Totally agree with RockinRobin - until you really know how many calories you are consuming, it's hard to figure out whether you need to add or subtract. Tracking calories is incredibly eye opening.

I would *definitely* try to balance my calories out a little more through the day, if I were you. There's no science behind this whatsoever, but mentally I try to be at 700 - 900 calories by 4:00pm. That way I feel like I won't be cranky and will have energy when my kids walk in the door from school. I do it for their sake as well as mine!

I'm going to add one more voice to the chorus- increase your calories. I never lose when I go below a certain number of cals.

I second this. If it's true that you're only eating 1100 per day, your body is rebelling. Remember that your body can adjusts its metabolism if your calories drop too low, and while it does take a certain number of calories to function, it can certainly match the level you're eating right now. This calorie level is way too low for you. Eat more and make sure to have a little protein, fiber, and healthy fat at every meal.

try oatmeal for breakfast - the single serve kind. 1min 30 in microwave and you're set. They're around 150-180 calories a serving + whatever calories you add with milk. Quaker have a great range of weight control (increased protein and fiber) or higher fiber, or just regular. Yes i do get the flavor ones <_<;

I read somewhere once, if you eat with in 30 mins of waking up, you can burn up to 300 calories; dont know how correct this is, but i like to believe it.

Also, just in my opinion, not that im a professional, but try eating more earlier in the day. Less at night. Eat good carbs til just after lunch, and cut right back, to give you sustained energy all day.
